Big Top by Rob Harrell for May 07, 2011

Good morning, BT fans……

There’s no breakfast posted, so I’ll just open the refrigerator door and see what looks good!

Let’s see, there is some watermelon, cantelope, some Swiss cheese, and oh, yes, some home made bread. If I need to, we can always have some ice cream from the freezer. Let’s see….there’s chocolate and some huckleberry sorbet.

Well, that’s all I can see……………………….doesn’t sound too exciting.

Good night, all……see you on the morrow. :))))

Okay! Okay! I brought in some Doctor Toonster’s Wildly Fabulous Nuclear Coffee made from sparkling fresh mountain water.

As the first male winner of the Betty Crocker Search for the Homemaker of Tomorrow 73 (keep the laughter down), would it be fitting for me to add to ML’s wonderful menu

Frozen pizzas for one Frozen burritos Every flavor Klondike Bars (seconds allowed) Pepper jack cheese (or real old cheddar) Something in tupperware that’s black or green Alot of stuff in the bin that’s supposed to be green Simply Smart 0% milk Whole milk Milk I should throw away Ocean Spray cranberry and something A tub of red stuff with Spanish writing Something the cat might eat, but the dog for sure. Tons of Easter candy, some with the ears still on.

If the TRIBE will finish this for me, I promise to break out the Mr Clean and bleach. Would I lie to you?

Great Menus. I’ll have a little bit of everything including the Starbrights Divine Cocha Mocha.

Good comeback Dusty.

Good Evening Little Sister, how was the birthday party?

It was okay. The kids had fun.

I’m turning in for the night. I’ll see you all in the morning.

Good Night Little Sister

Good Night Montana Lady & Sir Lew

Breakfast sounds interesting, I think I shall wait until morning though. I ….. umm…. don’t feel like praying at the porcelain altar tonight.

And lets see, I can toss in Pepsi & beer, fixin’s for a Bloody Caesar, eggs, corned beef., ham, potatoes O’Brien, yogurt and prune juice.

Good Morning, MontanaLady, MeBeGood & ♥Little Sister♥

Good Morning, Darkeforce & Doctor Toon.

SRmom let you know 70% blockage not sure I would agree. My own hubby went in for a stress test no chest pains had one 1” blockage front of heart. Heart specialist did a stent/stint. He stayed home for two days to recover.

Good Morning, ♥Kab♥

Just finished cleaning my refrigerator. Whodda thunk. Thanks to all the TRIBE* for helping. Excuse me Gloria and Betty but “Woman’s Work”! “A man may work from sun to sun, but a woman’s work is pawned off as shared responsibility.” Poor trash man’s gonna throw his back

I did manage to save a quarter pound of Land O Lakes and a nipper of gin that says “Will and Kate”.

Off to the ATM, grab $500, and shopping I will go. Some advice to husbands, I NEVER forget flowers for SHE WHO MUST BE OBEYED.

Am I too late for Easter candy with ears?? :>(

Good morning TRIBE

≡≡ P O P ! ≡≡ ♪ Good Morning TRIBE! ♪

Hello to all those here!

I’ll have a grilled cheese sandwice made with the Swiss cheese and homemade bread, some Easter candy and DWFNC, thank you Montana Lady and Sir Lew.

Is smoke supposed to come from my refrigerator?

Hi, Sojo!

I may just have to take an earless bunny. Didn’t buy any bunnies this year, just some M&M’s in pastel colors.

Good morning, Everyone,

It’s good to be back home in my own bed! Did you all see us at Old Faithful? We made it there around 3:45, just in time to see the eruption, and then wave at you all in the Big Top. We were the only two people standing near the visitor center, talking on our cell phone……the rest of the people were walking away from the geyser.

Anyway…..good to be back home, and reading everyone’s comments.

Good Morning Sir Lew, Doctor Toon and Rmom.

Hi, M’Lady! Sorry, I either forgot or was busy. Although, our internet speed here is classified as high speed, live streaming doesn’t work well, so it probably wouldn’t have worked anyway. I’m glad you had a good time! Kab - Maybe it depends on where the blockage is at? Either that, or which doctor makes the decision. We decided to not stay with that cardiologist, so I don’t know what the new one will decide.

Good Morning, serena, Rmom & Sojo

Good Morning Montana Lady - That’s the time I saw you!

Hi, Doc! I hope LadyCheetah gets feeling better soon!

goodmorningtribeandall!!

I survived volleyball! We got our butts handed to us, but my goal was to make it through the evening. Now where did I put those pain killers???

Good Morning Grog and Plods wi!

Good Morning, Plods wi

Sir Lew, the smoke is from the bug bomb I put in your refrigerator ….. ummm…. some of your food was trying to climb out on its own. I suggest you leave the door closed and don’t add new food until at least tomorrow.

Hi, Plods!

Well, I guess I’m officially old. Just noticed on my receipt from Taco Bueno (where we ate lunch at yesterday) that I got a “Senior Discount”. I guess between me using a cane, and my hubby’s white beard, the cashier figured we qualified.

Hi, MeBeGood! Bug bomb, huh? I guess that’s one way to clean a refrigerator.

Good Morning MeBeGood - That was being good.

Good Morning, MeBeGood

Good Morning Smiley Mom, Sojo, Grog, Doc T, Plods wi, Montana Lady and Everyone

Have a good snooze Doctor Toon.

Sleep well, Doc.

Good Morning, Serena, ♥Kab♥, Sojo & (((((Rmom))))).

Good Morning ♠Lonewolf♠!

Good Morning…………………………………………..

PLODS WI!!!

Hi, Wolfie!

Hey ouch Terry and owie others …..

Ya know, eech the brain thinks it’s 20, but the extra OW 40 years of mileage eep on the body says otherwise….

I need to start getting ready for pool league. We have playoffs today for the Saturday team.

Good luck, my friend…

Good luck, ♠Lonewolf♠

♠Lonewolf♠ - Hope you and your team do well!

Good luck, Wolfie! Plods - Growing old isn’t for wimps. Unfortunately, I am one. Thank God for better living through pharmaceuticals.

Thank you. We’ve got some awesome people on this site. I look forward to coming here everyday whether I have the time or not. I usually make sure I have some time! I’m out of here.

Have a great day everyone!

Hi, Everyone,

Good luck Lonewolf on your Saturday Pool…….

bamp!!

Good Morning, everyone, especially: Plods Wi, Grog, Sojo, SRMom, ♠Lonewolf♠, & MT Lady!

If Plods adds another letter, he could be a new game-player. But just how does someone plod with a Wii?

On that note, I’ll grab some fresh, ripe cantaloupe, and scurry away.

(BTW, the way to check ripeness is not to thump it, but to smell at the stem: if it smells like a cantaloupe, it’s ripe.)

Bamf!

Hello bmonk & ♥Little Sister♥

Hello everyone :-)

Hi and Bye bmonk.

Hello ♥Little Sister♥!

Hello Night Gaunt49 - Welcom to the Big Top! I forgot why that cut was started,

SRmom I’m older then you and have been receiving senior discounts and doesn’t bother me. In a few years I will be that age.

Hello all welcome Night-Gaunt49. For BT there has been times I have commented on it found it odd. SRmom hubby’s blockage front of the heart. You should have seen some dog shows recently now they had different hair style/trims to colors non toxic.

Hello ♥Kab♥!

Hello, ♥Kab♥

Kab - Didn’t bother me to save the money, and I’m not even offended as to the reason. Just surprised me, since we haven’t hit 55 yet. I’m not positive, but it sounds like your husband’s blockage and mine are in different areas. Mine is in the left anterior descending artery.

I’m wondering if this is connected to my current health issue? I’ve fainted many times in my life, and after my mom was diagnosed as having this (slightly different name, think it is the same thing), my doctor added it to my chart. I think it is the best explanation I’ve read for that problem.

Quiet afternoon. I guess I’ll go relax while I have a chance.

Rmom - Interesting.

I agree interesting. My dad had blockages different area and went through two bipass 10 years different in bypass. You know medical knowledge will change but the body does it’s own thing. I hope SRmom you get to feeling better to subsitute for school. School is almost out towards end of May for most schools.

What I wondered how does SRmom with the blue word get this description of a heart done?

A child yesterday on a school filed trip at county zoo went beyound bearier to the actual cage close encounter to a leopard. Leopard responds grabs with both paws the 7 year old boys neck and head. Couple help to get leopard loose boy goes to hospital and now okay. Most question where are the adults? This happened in KS not NY.

Very interesting. Surprising that serious injury is not common.

Kab, it’s an embedded link. I often use them to include a link to another comic or even a music video on occasion.

Long links don’t usually work and it’s a better alternative to TinyURL.com.

Oh, the next time I post here my faithful machine of 7+ years will be enjoying her retirement in my closet (until I”m sure all my files I needed are indeed copied). The new kid on the block, an E-Machine, EL1352-23C. Like me it has a split brain, but I hope his is more intelligent….

I’m so glad we got a bonus this year, my car needed repairs again ($750) and car insurance is due soon (another $700, is it a coinkidink?) I will have at least a Dave Ramsey Emergency fund for baby step #1.

Oh! We got a companion cat for Taffy. He’s named Tudor, 4 years old and a very pretty grey/brown and white. He has mittens and loose boots. He’d been patiently waiting adoption nearly 2 months and seems to be happy.

NightGaunt49 The ‘poodle cut’ is derived from the standard (huge) hunting poodle. The fur is on the joints, paws chest and head to keep them warm. The poodle is/was a hunting/sporting dog. No, not the teacup barely larger than a crumpled paper towl, the great dane sized ones.

Hello Quaby - Hope you enjoy the new E-Machine!

Hi, Quaby, long time no see.

Kab Sister, To get a blue word link is very much like posting a picture. As a matter of fact you just leave out the exclamation mark.

[whatever you type here turns blue and appears as text](this is the page or picture URL which should be the web / http: address - or something like that - that you copy from the top of the page)

So ~ Curious about what your [name means](http://www.name-meanings.com/)?

So far every comment before mine has nothing to do with the strip! Like its been hijacked as a public forum or private one

Page 1 My first entry Says right there “tooncomment:”

Good Afternoon, Plods Wins

Perhaps our new visiter did not notice? There were a few comments on the strip today. I suppose we could make the comments on the strip more noticable?

BIG TOP COMIC STRIP COMMENT:

I hope it hums on key.

Big Sister thanks I will need to copy this. Wondered how this worked. And how is your grandma doing. I don’t know if I missed this or not.

I’m watching CHiP’s and one of the scenes reminded me so much that happened on our Pasadena west-bound (TX) freeway that happened less than 6 months ago.

I had just gotten on to the freeway from the plant and managed to work my way into the inside lane and am further accelerating to make speed. Some of the traffic on the other 2 lanes often travel below the speed limit. I look at my rear view mirror and I see that the nearest vehicle - a white pickup was about 50 yards away and gaining. There is a beige pickup in the middle lane that passes him. The white pickup then tries to overtake and pass him. The beige vehicle weaves trying to block but the white pulls up along side. At this point they are bumping each other.

At that point, I decided I wanted a lot of distance between me and them. I began picking up speed thankful that I had no one in front of me.

The last time I could see them was shortly before a curve in the highway. The white vehicle had clipped the the rear-end of the beige pick-up and sent him headlong into the outside barrier - fortunately at a much lower speed than they had been going.

I didn’t know what was going on and didn’t want to stick around to find out. It was the last I saw of them and I breathed a sigh of relief and from that point forward had a safe and uneventful drive home.

Your funny Big Sister.

Night-Gaunt49 I want to apologize to you. I realized now that I have re read my comments that I sounded like a bleeep.

I will erase the negative comments.

Surprise & Shock! Gma woke up yesterday and has been visiting with people. She refuses to wear her oxygen because it is uncomfortable.

Ummm…. I am sorry I posted this, then deleted my comment because it wasn’t very nice about family stuff and forgot to repost the good part.

Yay Gma! I think my Dad went thru a few oxygen masks / tubes in the nose before he found something reasonably comfy. Vaseline on the ends helps too.

is this the red one?

 Good Afternoon Peoples!

Play nice stay safe (((Tribe)))

catch ya tomorrow

Pooph

Hi, MeBeWhatever.

Just finished watching Daniel Boone now time for Ellery Queen.

Little Sister, I didn’t think you sounded like a bleeep. I hope you don’t think I was implying it. Now if you are the one hiding my grape jelly gun…….

Hi and Bye Doctor Toon.

I feel like posting something that rocks!. Here’s some Meatloaf

Hi & bye, Doc

Big Sister very good news indeed thanks for letting us know. :)

I finally sent my final essay in. I went over this several times each day. I almost have memorized. I hoping instructor is nice. I even went were periods are to capital letters back spaced and spaced twice. I had trouble with words like are and our.

I am wishing all mom’s here a happy mother’s day for Sunday. I will try to insert picture on Sunday. I will be with my mom Sunday in church eating out and our house.

Oh! Kab Sister the blue word thingy is also a good way to link pictures that are too large for display.

Do you think Sojo liberated my grape jelly gun for his Super Hero antics? I bet that is where he goes on Tuesday nights! His Super Hero Secret Society Meetings!

(Sojo, even if that isn’t what you do on Tuesday nights…. you now have to say it is.)

A perfect Saturday Night Song for sitting at home on the computer. All Revved Up With No Place To Go.

MeBeGood - My Tuesday night meetings are over for the summer. And no, it isn’t a Super Hero Secret Society Meeting. Although it would be nice if it was.

Hi everybody.

I watched the Kentucky Derby today and I actually picked the winning horse. WOO HOO!!!!!! Am I good or what? I didn’t bet on the race, darnitall. [Of course, I never have, but still….]

[I don’t think anyone needs to know that this was the first time that had ever happened, do they?]

Hello serena - LOL

[Taylor Swift album] see what happens

Hello Serenasakitty, Congratulations!

Sojo, it is okay. I won’t tell anyone you are a Super Hero.

I guess I don’t get it. Mother’s day is special day so good night all. A little early but been a big day.

♥Kab♥ like this: insert your description between [and]. Then your web link beteen (and) such that it’s [description] and (link) side by side.

Good Night ♥Kab♥.

Thanks MeBeGood.

Wait! I still haven’t figured out Mother’s Day and Doc already has it mastered? That so is not right!

Well it’s time to go and this is my Swan song Call Me The Breeze

Gunite, Tribeandall!

Good Night Grog.

Kab Sister, it is just like the pictures you post. You could try that?

For a picture ~

Possibly someone can explain differently than I if you are still having trouble. Sometimes, the same information being presented in a different way is helpful to me.

Good Night Kab Sister, Grog & Sojo, Pleasant Dreams

Time for my zzzzzz’s.
